• 23 Oct 2013 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I support this Motion. Thank you very much. view
• 3 Oct 2013 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Deputy Speaker, for allowing me to speak to this Motion. From the outset, I oppose this report in its entirety. I beg to be heard because the Committee has a report, which it has tabled before this House and it is the right of every Member to be heard. The Committee has dispensed mainly with its work and it is for the Members to interrogate the report. If one cannot be heard, then it means that, and I am saying this with humility, we are at risk of allowing dictatorship from the Committee. Members should be given ... view
• 3 Oct 2013 in National Assembly: I want to address the recommendations of the Committee. The Committee has made three key recommendations. If you allow me, one, the Committee is urging that the entire list be thrown out for the reasons that some names were sneaked in. If you look at the Communication, the Communication to this House was by His Excellency. So, the buck stops with His Excellency.

I am saying that under Section 8(12), the mandate to set the panel is under the law. This Committee purported to be the law and ordered, by its recommendation, that a fresh panel be constituted. That is one of the recommendations. If you look at Section 8, the Committee cannot do that because a selection panel is already set. When does a selection panel dissolve? Can the Chair be humble enough ... view
• 3 Oct 2013 in National Assembly: Hon. Deputy Speaker, that is exactly my point. The Committee has no such mandate. It cannot order by recommendation--- view
• 3 Oct 2013 in National Assembly: This House cannot delegate itself the authority and mandate to set up a new panel. The panel, whether they want to hear me or not, is set by the law. Therefore, when the recommendation comes to the Floor saying that a new panel shall be constituted, it speaks to the violation of the law and by adopting this report, we shall be violating the law. If you read Section 8, the panel has been set. view
• 3 Oct 2013 in National Assembly: Hon. Deputy Speaker, the panel can only be dissolved by Section 8(13) which says that:- view
